THE timetable has been announced for Christmas Lights switch on in St Helens town centre this weekend.

Britain’s Got Talent 2012 finalists The Loveable Rogues and The Mend, along with local favourites the Lancashire Hotpots, are among the musical acts performing in Victoria Square this Saturday, (November 17).

Former X factor finalist Bradley Johnson, of Rainford, is a late addition to the line up and he will be joined by Rainhill singer/songwriter Sophie Morgan and tenor Tom Loughlin.

Rainhill High School Dance Troupe, Trinity Girls Brass Band and Broad Oak and Queens Park Primary Schools will perform a host of traditional carols.

Two of the town’s biggest sporting personalities - heroic fundraiser Steve Prescott and boxer Martin Murray – will also be interviewed on stage.

The event, supported by Merseytravel, gets underway at 4pm and also includes a seasonal programme with stars from the borough’s two pantomimes, Cinderella (Theatre Royal) and A Christmas Carol (The Citadel).

Maybe Sophie could teach the x factor/school reject on how to write songs and sing and not get expelled? and then maybe Martin Murray can knock him out to save us from his rancid weak fake american singing?pitbullboxing

I actually thought it was very good last year. The kids enjoyed it and that's the main thing right?

I have just come back from the christmas lights switch on and was really looking forward to the "Lights Switch On & Special Effects Show" which i thought would have been hard to beat after last years amazing show......well, i wish i never bothered, not a smudge on last years, just a few big flames in front of the town hall and a stupid amount of paper snowflakes being spat everywhere, i couldnt believe the amount of people i actually heard saying the same as me "what, is that it?".....total let down for St Helens, should have just stayed at home :-(
